Pulsed Infrared Emission from Magnetar 4U 0142+61 Detected by JWST
Jeremy Hare, George G. Pavlov, Bettina Posselt +3
We report on a JWST observation of the magnetar 4U 0142+61 on 2024 August 18 with the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). NIRCam observed the magnetar for 33~min in timing mode, providi…
IXPE Polarizations of the Lighthouse Pulsar, Trail, and Filament
Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, S. Zhang +9
The Lighthouse pulsar (PSR J11016101) sports a bright X-ray trail and filament. The synchrotron emission from both structures is expected to be polarized, with electric vector p…

Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Neutron star heating vs. HST observations
Luis E. RodrÃguez, Andreas Reisenegger, Denis González-Caniulef +5
Passively cooling neutron stars (NSs) should reach undetectably low surface temperatures K in less than yr. However, HST observations have revealed likely thermal…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
The middle-aged pulsar PSR J1741-2054 and its bow-shock nebula in far ultraviolet
Vadim Abramkin, George G. Pavlov, Yuriy Shibanov +2
Context. The nearby middle-aged gamma-ray pulsar J1741-2054 and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN) have been studied in X-rays, and its bow-shock nebula (BSN) has been investigated in th…
